Summer is here and flowers are in bloom! Each flowering plant produces a unique bloom that provides opportunities for students to make observations about plants. By comparing and contrasting flowers, students can connect their learning to the larger picture that all organisms have different structures that help them to survive.

The author describes two lessons, one for early elementary, the other for later elementary, that use a trade book as a springboard into an investigation of plant seeds and bulbs and flowers.
Author's expertise- Christine Anne Royce (caroyce@aol.com) is an associate professor of education at Shippensburg University in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania.
purpose of work- give examples of lessons that use trade books and tie to the science standards
intended audience- elementary teachers
My unit is on plants and their parts. With my fourth grade class I will plan to use the second part of the article and its lesson based on "The Reason for a Flower" by Ruth Heller. Students will draw the parts of the flower labeling them as they dissect the flower.},
